In honour of Ontario Heritage Week, the City of Mississauga is now accepting applications
for its 2013 Designated Heritage Property Grant program.

"Mississauga's heritage properties are an invaluable feature of the City," said Susan
Burt, director Culture Division. "The restoration and preservation of these sites protects
Mississauga's community history so it can be enjoyed by residents and visitors."

Launched in 2007, the program offers grants to successful applicants for the conservation,
repair and/or restoration of property designated under the Ontario Heritage Act. Matching
grants from $500 to $5,000 are available for general conservation and $500 to $10,000 for the
repair or restoration of structural elements.
